The Minnesota Credit Union Foundation is an organization dedicated to providing the resources for credit unions and communities to prosper and thrive.

Established in 1969, the Foundation has helped many credit unions with limited resources to grow, prosper and reach underserved communities. Some of the activities funded through the Foundation in the past include cooperative leadership training, education and development for credit union employees and volunteers, financial literacy programs, and charitable fundraising.

Founded by the Minnesota Credit Union Network and governed by a seven-member board of directors from various Minnesota credit unions, the Foundation considers grant requests with an eye toward its goal of “empowering people to achieve.” The Minnesota Credit Union Foundation is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization.
